Roedean students shone brightly at this year’s Sussex Superstars talent show, an exciting competition that celebrates young performers from across the community. Their incredible achievements are a testament to the dedication, passion, and talent within our school.

Sussex Superstars is an exciting talent show run by E3 Events in Brighton, designed to spotlight young performers from our local community. This year, nearly 30 talented individuals answered the call, showcasing their skills in dance, acting, singing, comedy, magic, and music. After a competitive audition process, ten performers advanced to the semi-finals, which took place on 17 January at the Hilton Metropole.


We are incredibly proud that seven of the ten semi-finalists were Roedean students! Even more impressively, two of them secured spots in the final round, meaning that half of the finalists were Roedeanian, an incredible testament to the outstanding talent within our school.

The final four had the incredible opportunity to perform the Focus Foundation’s prestigious Winter Ball on the 1st February with a panel of esteemed industry judges including renowned choreographer Jacquie Brunjes, acclaimed actress Anita Dobson, and celebrated entertainer Christopher Biggins.


A special congratulations to our two incredible finalists:


  • Charlie, who mesmerised the audience with a stunning dance performance.
  • Ellen, who not only reached the finals but won the entire competition with a breathtaking violin performance of the Schindler’s List theme.

What an extraordinary achievement! We couldn’t be prouder of Ellen and Charlie for their dedication, passion, and hard work. Their success is a true inspiration to the Roedean community, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next.


Bravo to all the participants, and thank you to Sussex Superstars for providing such a fantastic platform for young talent!


I’m so happy I had the opportunity to participate in the Sussex Superstars. It was an unforgettable experience, and I am deeply grateful for all the support I’ve received. This is just the beginning – there is always more to achieve! – Ellen
